Abstract:
Bongo plankton tow samples from thirty cruises to the Gulf of Maine/Georges Bank were screened for fish egg concentrations. Eggs were identified by species and life stages (expanded for Gadidae eggs). Sampling was performed over a fixed grid, on a monthly basis (January-June) for years 1995-1999.

Note: The species taxon list is too large to be incorporated into the keyword list. Only the family Gadidae is listed.
